SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is a TCP/IP protocol used in sending and receiving email. SMTP is used most commonly by email clients, including Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and Yahoo Mail.

In short, an SMTP server is a basically a mail server. It receives requests and sends e-mails to the recipient. Most of the servers have basic default SMTP servers installed. It’s important not to abuse an external mail server with spam. If so, your email server can easily get blacklisted.

You can use the SMTP feature in your App Manager if you notice that emails from your app forms are not being received by your users.
